Basque Studies Program Newsletter · Issue
61, 1999
Major New Basque
Publications
In the summer of 1998 the then Basque Studies Program
(now Center for Basque Studies), the University Studies
Abroad Consortium and the Basque Government’s Ministry
of Culture and secretariate of External Affairs, cosponsored
a major conference in Reno. Seventy-seven Basque scholars
from several countries gathered to discuss “Basques in
the Contemporary World: Migration, Identity and
Globalization.” It was resolved to publish some,
thought not all, of the papers (in post-conference
elaborated form), particularly those that emphasized the
current circumstances and future prospects of some aspect of
Basque culture in the new millennium. We are pleased to
announce publication of three volumes, each of which
captures one of the emphases of the Reno conference. We
reproduce the table of contents of each of the volumes as
evidence of the scope of the
contributions:
